Description

本発明は、誘電体磁器組成物および電子部品に関する。   The present invention relates to a dielectric ceramic composition and an electronic component.

近年、需要が増加しているスマートフォン等の移動体通信機器では、数百MHzから数GHz程度のいわゆる準マイクロ波と呼ばれる高周波帯域が使用されている。そのため、移動体通信機器に用いられる電子部品においても高周波帯域での使用に適した諸特性が要求されている。そして、高周波帯域での使用に適する優れたLTCC(低温同時焼成セラミックス)材料が求められてきた。特にAg内部電極と同時焼成可能であり、各種特性が優れたLTCC材料を得るために様々な方法が提案されてきた。   In recent years, in mobile communication devices such as smartphones, the demand for which is increasing, so-called quasi-microwave high frequency bands of about several hundred MHz to several GHz are used. Therefore, various characteristics suitable for use in a high frequency band are also required for electronic components used in mobile communication devices. Then, there has been a demand for an excellent LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramic) material suitable for use in a high frequency band. In particular, various methods have been proposed to obtain an LTCC material which can be co-fired with an Ag internal electrode and has excellent various properties.

特許文献1では、フォルステライトを主成分とし、ZnO等を副成分として含むガラスセラミックス組成物が提案されている。特許文献3に記載されたガラスセラミックス組成物は、ZnOを副成分として含むことにより、1000℃以下の低温で焼成する場合に、十分に緻密化することが容易となっている。   Patent Document 1 proposes a glass ceramic composition containing forsterite as a main component and ZnO or the like as an accessory component. The glass-ceramic composition described in patent document 3 is easy to fully densify, when it bakes at low temperature of 1000 degrees C or less by containing ZnO as a subsidiary component.

しかし、近年の電子部品の小型化に伴うセラミック層の薄層化や、これまでより高い周波数帯への対応のためには、特にAg内部電極と同時に焼成する場合において、さらにこれまでよりLTCC材料のQ値および耐湿性を向上させることが要求されている。   However, in order to reduce the thickness of the ceramic layer with the recent miniaturization of electronic parts and to cope with higher frequency bands so far, especially when firing simultaneously with the Ag internal electrode, it is possible to further increase the LTCC material. It is required to improve the Q value and moisture resistance of the

本発明の電子部品は、上記のいずれかの誘電体磁器組成物からなる誘電体層を有する。   The electronic component of the present invention has a dielectric layer made of any of the dielectric ceramic compositions described above.

以下、本発明を好適に実施するための実施形態につき説明する。   Hereinafter, an embodiment for carrying out the present invention suitably will be described.

本実施形態に係る誘電体磁器組成物は、MgSiOを含む主成分と、R含有化合物(Rはアルカリ土類金属)、Cu含有化合物、B含有化合物およびLi含有ガラスを含む副成分と、を含む。 The dielectric ceramic composition according to the present embodiment comprises: a main component containing Mg 2 SiO 4 , an accessory component containing an R-containing compound (R is an alkaline earth metal), a Cu-containing compound, a B-containing compound and a Li-containing glass ,including.

なお、本実施形態において、焼成とは、焼結を目的とした加熱処理を意味し、焼成温度とは、加熱処理の際に誘電体磁器組成物が曝される雰囲気の温度である。   In the present embodiment, firing means heat treatment for the purpose of sintering, and firing temperature is the temperature of the atmosphere to which the dielectric ceramic composition is exposed during heat treatment.

本実施形態に係る誘電体磁器組成物についての誘電特性は、その焼結体のQf値、温度変化による共振周波数の変化(共振周波数の温度係数τf)、および比誘電率εrによって評価することができる。Qf値、比誘電率εrは、日本工業規格「マイクロ波用ファインセラミックスの誘電特性の試験方法」(JIS R1627 1996年度)に従って測定することができる。   The dielectric characteristics of the dielectric ceramic composition according to the present embodiment can be evaluated by the Qf value of the sintered body, the change in resonant frequency due to temperature change (temperature coefficient τf of resonant frequency), and the relative dielectric constant εr it can. The Qf value and the relative dielectric constant εr can be measured in accordance with Japanese Industrial Standard “Test method of dielectric properties of fine ceramics for microwaves” (JIS R1627 1996).

本実施形態に係る誘電体磁器組成物には、MgSiO(フォルステライト)が主成分として含まれる。MgSiOは、単体でのQf値が200000GHz以上であり、誘電損失が小さいため、誘電体磁器組成物の誘電損失を低下させる機能を有する。また、MgSiOは、その比誘電率εrが6〜7程度と低いため、誘電体磁器組成物の比誘電率εrを低下させる機能も有する。ここで、誘電損失とは、高周波のエネルギの一部が熱となって放散する現象である。誘電損失の大きさは、現実の電流と電圧との位相差と、理想の電流と電圧との位相差(90度)との差である損失角度δの正接tanδの逆数Q(Q=1/tanδ)で表わされる。誘電体磁器組成物の誘電損失の評価は、このQ値と共振周波数fの積であるQf値を用いている。誘電損失が小さくなればQf値は大きくなり、誘電損失が大きくなればQf値は小さくなる。誘電損失は高周波デバイスの電力損失を意味するため、誘電体磁器組成物のQf値は大きいことが好ましい。ただし、本実施形態では、試験時の共振周波数fを概ね一定とみなして、誘電損失の評価には、Q値を用いる。 The dielectric ceramic composition according to the present embodiment contains Mg 2 SiO 4 (forsterite) as a main component. Since Mg 2 SiO 4 alone has a Qf value of 200,000 GHz or more and a small dielectric loss, it has a function of reducing the dielectric loss of the dielectric ceramic composition. Further, Mg 2 SiO 4 also has a function of reducing the relative dielectric constant εr of the dielectric ceramic composition because the relative dielectric constant εr is as low as about 6 to 7. Here, dielectric loss is a phenomenon in which part of high frequency energy is dissipated as heat. The magnitude of the dielectric loss is the reciprocal Q of the tangent tan δ of the loss angle δ, which is the difference between the phase difference between the actual current and the voltage and the phase difference (90 degrees) between the ideal current and the voltage (Q = 1 / It is represented by tan δ). The evaluation of the dielectric loss of the dielectric ceramic composition uses a Qf value which is the product of the Q value and the resonance frequency f. The smaller the dielectric loss, the larger the Qf value, and the larger the dielectric loss, the smaller the Qf value. Since the dielectric loss means the power loss of the high frequency device, the Qf value of the dielectric ceramic composition is preferably large. However, in the present embodiment, the resonance frequency f at the time of the test is regarded as substantially constant, and the Q value is used for the evaluation of the dielectric loss.

誘電体磁器組成物の誘電損失を低下させるという観点からは、主成分が実質的にMgSiOのみからなることが好ましい。しかし、比誘電率εrを調整するためにMgSiO以外の主成分をMgSiOと併用することができる。MgSiO以外の主成分としては、例えば比誘電率εrが17前後であるチタン酸マグネシウム(MgTiO)、および、比誘電率εrが200前後であるチタン酸カルシウム(CaTiO)等が挙げられる。なお、「主成分が実質的にMgSiOのみからなる」とは、主成分100質量部に対するMgSiOの含有量が95質量部以上であることを意味する。 From the viewpoint of reducing the dielectric loss of the dielectric ceramic composition, it is preferable that the main component consists essentially of Mg 2 SiO 4 . However, the main component other than Mg 2 SiO 4 in order to adjust the relative permittivity εr can be used in combination with Mg 2 SiO 4. As main components other than Mg 2 SiO 4 , for example, magnesium titanate (MgTiO 3 ) having a relative dielectric constant εr of around 17 and calcium titanate (CaTiO 3 ) having a relative dielectric constant εr of around 200 are listed. Be Note that "main component substantially composed of only Mg 2 SiO 4," and the content of Mg 2 SiO 4 with respect to the main component of 100 parts by weight means that 95 parts by mass or more.

MgSiOを構成するMgOとSiOとのモル比は、化学量論的にはMgO対SiOが2:1である。しかし、本実施形態ではMgO対SiOが2:1に限定されるものではなく、本実施形態に係る誘電体磁器組成物の効果を損なわない範囲内で化学量論比から外れてもよい。例えば、MgO:SiOは、1.9:1.1〜2.1:0.9の範囲内とすることができる。 The molar ratio of MgO to SiO 2 constituting Mg 2 SiO 4 is stoichiometrically 2: 1 of MgO to SiO 2 . However, in the present embodiment, the ratio of MgO to SiO 2 is not limited to 2: 1, and may be out of the stoichiometric ratio within the range not impairing the effect of the dielectric ceramic composition according to the present embodiment. For example, MgO: SiO 2 can be in the range of 1.9: 1.1 to 2.1: 0.9.

本実施形態の誘電体磁器組成物は、主成分であるMgSiOに対する副成分として、R含有化合物(Rはアルカリ土類金属)、Cu含有化合物、B含有化合物およびLi含有ガラスを含む。なお、本願明細書ではアルカリ土類金属にBeおよびMgは含まれない。 The dielectric ceramic composition of the present embodiment contains an R-containing compound (R is an alkaline earth metal), a Cu-containing compound, a B-containing compound, and a Li-containing glass as auxiliary components to Mg 2 SiO 4 as the main component. In the present specification, alkaline earth metals do not include Be and Mg.

本実施形態の誘電体磁器組成物は、副成分としてR含有化合物を含むことで、低温焼結しやすくなる。R含有化合物としては、例えば、Rの酸化物、炭酸塩、硝酸塩、シュウ酸塩、水酸化物、硫化物、有機金属化合物等が例示される。また、R含有化合物の含有量は、主成分100質量部に対して酸化物(RO)換算で0.2質量部以上4.0質量部以下であり、0.2質量部以上3.5質量部以下であることが好ましい。R含有化合物の含有量が少なすぎる場合には低温焼結しにくくなる。また、焼結体の抗折強度が低下する。ROの含有量が多すぎる場合には焼結体のQ値が低下する。   The dielectric ceramic composition of the present embodiment can be easily sintered at a low temperature by including the R-containing compound as an accessory component. Examples of the R-containing compound include oxides, carbonates, nitrates, oxalates, hydroxides, sulfides, organic metal compounds and the like of R. The content of the R-containing compound is 0.2 parts by mass or more and 4.0 parts by mass or less in terms of oxide (RO) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the main component, and 0.2 parts by mass or more and 3.5 parts by mass It is preferable that it is less than part. When the content of the R-containing compound is too small, low temperature sintering becomes difficult. In addition, the flexural strength of the sintered body is reduced. When the content of RO is too large, the Q value of the sintered body decreases.

アルカリ土類金属であるRとしては、Ba、Sr、Caのいずれかが好ましく、これらのうち2種以上を混合して用いてもよい。RとしてCaを含有する場合におけるCa含有化合物の含有量は主成分100質量部に対して酸化物(CaO)換算で0.2質量部以上3.0質量部以下が好ましい。RとしてSrを含有する場合におけるSr含有化合物の含有量は主成分100質量部に対して酸化物(SrO)換算で0.2質量部以上3.0質量部以下が好ましい。RとしてBaを含有する場合におけるBa含有化合物の含有量は主成分100質量部に対して酸化物(BaO)換算で0.2質量部以上3.0質量部以下が好ましい。   As R which is an alkaline earth metal, any one of Ba, Sr and Ca is preferable, and two or more of these may be mixed and used. When Ca is contained as R, the content of the Ca-containing compound is preferably 0.2 parts by mass or more and 3.0 parts by mass or less in terms of oxide (CaO) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the main component. When Sr is contained as R, the content of the Sr-containing compound is preferably 0.2 parts by mass or more and 3.0 parts by mass or less in terms of oxide (SrO) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the main component. The content of the Ba-containing compound in the case of containing Ba as R is preferably 0.2 parts by mass or more and 3.0 parts by mass or less in terms of oxide (BaO) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the main component.

本実施形態の誘電体磁器組成物は、副成分としてCu含有化合物を含むことで、低温焼結しやすくなるとともに焼結体のQ値が向上する。Cu含有化合物としては、例えば、Cuの酸化物、炭酸塩、硝酸塩、シュウ酸塩、水酸化物、硫化物、有機金属化合物等が例示される。また、Cu含有化合物の含有量は、主成分100質量部に対して酸化物(CuO)換算で0.5質量部以上3.0質量部以下であり、0.5質量部以上2.5質量部以下であることが好ましい。Cu含有化合物の含有量が少なすぎる場合には低温焼結しにくくなる。Cu含有化合物の含有量が多すぎる場合には焼結体のQ値が低下する。さらに、Ag内部電極を用いる場合には焼成時にAgが誘電体磁器組成物へ拡散してしまう。その結果、誘電体と電極との間に空隙が発生し、密着性が低下し、耐湿性が低下する。   In the dielectric ceramic composition of the present embodiment, the inclusion of the Cu-containing compound as an accessory component facilitates low temperature sintering and improves the Q value of the sintered body. Examples of the Cu-containing compound include Cu oxides, carbonates, nitrates, oxalates, hydroxides, sulfides, organic metal compounds and the like. In addition, the content of the Cu-containing compound is 0.5 parts by mass to 3.0 parts by mass in terms of oxide (CuO) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the main component, and 0.5 parts by mass to 2.5 parts by mass It is preferable that it is less than part. When the content of the Cu-containing compound is too small, low temperature sintering becomes difficult. When the content of the Cu-containing compound is too large, the Q value of the sintered body decreases. Furthermore, when using an Ag internal electrode, Ag diffuses to the dielectric ceramic composition during firing. As a result, an air gap is generated between the dielectric and the electrode, the adhesion is lowered, and the moisture resistance is lowered.

本実施形態の誘電体磁器組成物は、副成分としてB含有化合物を含むことで、低温焼結しやすくなるとともに焼結体のQ値が向上する。B含有化合物としては、例えば、Bの酸化物、炭酸塩、硝酸塩、シュウ酸塩、水酸化物、硫化物、有機金属化合物等が例示される。また、B含有化合物の含有量は、主成分100質量部に対して酸化物(B)換算で0.2質量部以上3.0質量部以下であり、0.2質量部以上2.5質量部以下であることが好ましい。B含有化合物の含有量が少なすぎる場合には低温焼結しにくくなる。B含有化合物の含有量が多すぎる場合にはQ値が低下する。さらに、Ag内部電極を用いる場合には焼成時にAgが誘電体磁器組成物へ拡散してしまう。その結果、誘電体と電極との間に空隙が発生し、密着性が低下し、耐湿性が低下する。 In the dielectric ceramic composition of the present embodiment, the inclusion of the B-containing compound as an accessory component facilitates low-temperature sintering and improves the Q value of the sintered body. Examples of the B-containing compound include oxides, carbonates, nitrates, oxalates, hydroxides, sulfides, organometallic compounds and the like of B. In addition, the content of the B-containing compound is 0.2 parts by mass or more and 3.0 parts by mass or less in terms of oxide (B 2 O 3 ) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the main component, and 0.2 parts by mass or more It is preferable that it is 0.5 mass part or less. When the content of the B-containing compound is too small, low temperature sintering becomes difficult. When the content of the B-containing compound is too large, the Q value decreases. Furthermore, when using an Ag internal electrode, Ag diffuses to the dielectric ceramic composition during firing. As a result, an air gap is generated between the dielectric and the electrode, the adhesion is lowered, and the moisture resistance is lowered.

本実施形態の誘電体磁器組成物は、副成分としてLi含有ガラスを含むことで低温焼結しやすくなるとともに焼結体のQ値が向上する。さらに、焼結体の化学的安定性および絶縁信頼性も向上する。   In the dielectric ceramic composition of the present embodiment, low temperature sintering is facilitated and the Q value of the sintered body is improved by containing Li-containing glass as an accessory component. Furthermore, the chemical stability and insulation reliability of the sintered body are also improved.

Li含有ガラスとしては、例えば、SiO−RO−LiO(ROはアルカリ土類金属酸化物)系ガラスとB−RO−LiO系ガラスとのいずれか一方または両方を含んで構成されるものが好ましい。ガラス成分として、具体的には、SiO−RO−LiO系ガラスとしては、SiO−CaO−LiO系ガラス、SiO−SrO−LiO系ガラス、SiO−BaO−LiO系ガラス、SiO−CaO−SrO−LiO系ガラス、SiO−BaO−CaO−LiO系ガラス、SiO−SrO−BaO−LiO系ガラス、SiO−CaO−SrO−BaO−LiO系ガラスなどが挙げられる。B−RO−LiO系ガラスとしては、B−CaO−LiO系ガラス、B−SrO−LiO系ガラス、B−BaO−LiO系ガラス、B−CaO−SrO−LiO系ガラス、B−BaO−CaO−LiO系ガラス、B−SrO−BaO−LiO系ガラス、B−CaO−SrO−BaO−LiO系ガラスなどが挙げられる。これらの中でも、SiO−BaO−CaO−LiO系ガラスが好ましい。 The Li-containing glass includes, for example, either one or both of SiO 2 -RO-Li 2 O (RO is an alkaline earth metal oxide) glass and B 2 O 3 -RO-Li 2 O glass. What is composed of is preferable. As glass component, specifically, the SiO 2 -RO-Li 2 O-based glass, SiO 2 -CaO-Li 2 O-based glass, SiO 2 -SrO-Li 2 O-based glass, SiO 2 -BaO-Li 2 O-based glass, SiO 2 -CaO-SrO-Li 2 O-based glass, SiO 2 -BaO-CaO-Li 2 O-based glass, SiO 2 -SrO-BaO-Li 2 O-based glass, SiO 2 -CaO-SrO such -BaO-Li 2 O system glass. B 2 O 3 as the -RO-Li 2 O-based glass, B 2 O 3 -CaO-Li 2 O -based glass, B 2 O 3 -SrO-Li 2 O -based glass, B 2 O 3 -BaO-Li 2 O-based glass, B 2 O 3 -CaO-SrO-Li 2 O-based glass, B 2 O 3 -BaO-CaO-Li 2 O-based glass, B 2 O 3 -SrO-BaO-Li 2 O-based glass, B etc. 2 O 3 -CaO-SrO-BaO -Li 2 O system glass. Among these, SiO 2 -BaO-CaO-Li 2 O system glass is preferred.

In the preparation process of Mg 2 SiO 4 crystal powder, a raw material powder of magnesium oxide (MgO) and a raw material powder of silicon oxide (SiO 2 ) are mixed and calcined to prepare a forsterite (Mg 2 SiO 4 ) crystal powder Process. Predetermined amounts of a raw material powder of MgO and a raw material powder of SiO 2, which are raw materials of Mg 2 SiO 4 crystal powder, are respectively weighed and then mixed. A raw material mixed powder is thus obtained. The mixing of the raw material powder of MgO and the raw material powder of SiO 2 can be carried out by a mixing method such as dry mixing or wet mixing. For example, using a mixing and dispersing machine such as a ball mill, a solvent such as pure water or ethanol is used. Mix and mix. The mixing time in the case of a ball mill is about 4 hours to 24 hours.

原料混合粉末を、好ましくは100℃以上200℃以下、より好ましくは120℃以上140℃以下で12時間から36時間程度乾燥させた後、熱処理(仮焼き)する。この仮焼きによって、MgSiO結晶が得られる。仮焼温度は、1100℃以上1500℃以下であることが好ましく、1100℃以上1350℃以下であることが好ましい。また、仮焼時間は1時間から24時間程度行うことが好ましい。 The raw material mixed powder is dried at preferably 100 ° C. or more and 200 ° C. or less, more preferably 120 ° C. or more and 140 ° C. or less for about 12 hours to 36 hours, and then subjected to heat treatment (calcination). By this calcination, Mg 2 SiO 4 crystals are obtained. The calcination temperature is preferably 1100 ° C. or more and 1500 ° C. or less, and more preferably 1100 ° C. or more and 1350 ° C. or less. Further, it is preferable that the calcination time be about 1 hour to 24 hours.

合成されたMgSiO結晶を、粉砕して粉末とした後、乾燥する。これにより、MgSiO結晶粉末が得られる。このMgSiO結晶粉末が誘電体磁器組成物の主成分粉末として用いられる。粉砕は乾式粉砕又は湿式粉砕等の粉砕方式で行うことができ、例えば、ボールミルで純水、エタノール等の溶媒を用いて湿式粉砕する。粉砕時間は、特に限定されるものではなく、所望の平均粒子径の大きさのMgSiO結晶粉末が得られればよく、粉砕時間は例えば4時間から24時間程度とすればよい。MgSiO結晶粉末の乾燥は、好ましくは100℃以上200℃以下、より好ましくは120℃以上140℃以下の乾燥温度で、12時間以上36時間以下程度行う。 The synthesized Mg 2 SiO 4 crystals are pulverized to a powder and then dried. Thereby, Mg 2 SiO 4 crystal powder is obtained. This Mg 2 SiO 4 crystal powder is used as the main component powder of the dielectric ceramic composition. Pulverization can be performed by a pulverization method such as dry pulverization or wet pulverization, and for example, wet pulverization is performed using a solvent such as pure water or ethanol in a ball mill. The grinding time is not particularly limited, as long as Mg 2 SiO 4 crystal powder having a desired average particle size is obtained, and the grinding time may be, for example, about 4 hours to 24 hours.

なお、MgSiO結晶による効果を大きくするためには、MgSiO中に含まれる未反応のMgOやSiOの原料成分を少なくする必要があるため、MgOとSiOとを混合した原料混合粉末を調製する際、マグネシウムのモル数が珪素のモル数の2倍となるように、MgOとSiOとを混合することが好ましい。 In order to increase the effect of Mg 2 SiO 4 crystals, it is necessary to reduce the unreacted MgO and SiO 2 raw material components contained in Mg 2 SiO 4 , so MgO and SiO 2 were mixed. When preparing the raw material mixed powder, it is preferable to mix MgO and SiO 2 so that the number of moles of magnesium is twice the number of moles of silicon.

MgSiO結晶粉末は、MgOの原料粉末およびSiOの原料粉末からMgSiO結晶を合成する方法に限定されるものではなく、市販のMgSiOを用いてもよい。この場合、市販のMgSiOを、上述と同様の方法で粉砕し、乾燥してMgSiO結晶粉末を得るようにしてもよい。 The Mg 2 SiO 4 crystal powder is not limited to the method of synthesizing Mg 2 SiO 4 crystal from the raw material powder of MgO and the raw material powder of SiO 2 , and commercially available Mg 2 SiO 4 may be used.
